I think there are two sorts of ecstasy in the kitchen. the first is the happiness to make something familiar. to have that fulfilling sensation of ‘I’ve been there before and my mouth knows that flavour’. this is something I love, something that comforts me.
and then there is food that tastes like the beginning of a relationship. it’s flirty and sometimes clumsy. it feels exciting and new.
marshmallows are part of that latter kind. I made some today. for the first time. slightly pushing me out of my comfort zone.
